Parole Board Clears Another Guantánamo Prisoner for Release
-----------------------------------------------------------

On Thursday, the parole board at Guantánamo said prisoner Hayl Aziz
al-Maythali no longer posed a danger, and cleared him for release. The
39-year-old Yemeni was once accused of having plotted the 9/11 attacks
and had been considered one of the prison's "forever prisoners"-those
least likely to ever be released. Thirty-four of the remaining 76
detainees at Guantánamo have now been cleared for release. Some have
been cleared for years.
